The Panasonic PT-RZ670 laser light source 1-chip DLP™ projector has been named as the winner of the
2014 Best of InfoComm Award: Best New System Projector.

This year’s InfoComm show, which was held in Las Vegas, had a record 37,000+ attendees from more than 114 countries. There were 947 exhibitors over 490,000 net square feet of space. After much consideration, the entire rAVe staff picked the best and the brightest from the thousands of products and hundreds of exhibitors introduced on the show floor.

The PT-RZ670 offers the world’s first*1 6,500 lm of brightness in a laser light source 1-chip DLP™ projector. A laser light source and durable optical system allow approximately 20,000 hours*2 of continuous operation, and long-lasting image quality contributes to long-term applications. Installation flexibility and a host of advanced functions in this flagship Panasonic model meet the demands of critical professionals.

*1 For 1-chip DLP™ projectors, as of June 2014.

*2 At this time the brightness will have decreased to approximately 1/2 of its original level.
Have the store where you purchased the unit perform cleaning after approximately
20,000 hours. The light source’s lifetime may be shortened due to environmental conditions.

Panasonic's ultra-short-throw lens ET-DLE030 enables large-screen projection from a short distance. By mounting the ET-DLE030 ultra-short-throw lens onto Panasonic's 1-chip DLP™ projector, you can shorten the projection distance by approximately 60 % compared with our ET-DLE085 and ET-DLE080 short throw lenses. This huge savings in space lets you project images in spots where you previously could not—such as places where the ceiling is too high, or where there is not enough front or rear space for projecting.

Excerpts from the Product Review:

“Until now, short-throw and ultra-short-throw projection has typically been limited to smaller fixed-lens projectors used in seminar rooms and in meeting room environments.
Panasonic has changed that with ET-DLE030 shortthrow lenses for larger format single-chip DLP™ projectors.”
